Giving Back

The Big Chili Cook-Off provides thousands of dollars in funding for our mountain area volunteer fire departments. Being well-funded ensures that our volunteers have the equipment and training to effectively protect structures and lives during a wild fire. After a fire has ravaged our community, many of us feel the desire to give something to help. Giving to an organization like The American Red Cross helps with things like temporary housing for those who have been displaced, and this is a necessary and good thing. However, if your desire is to give directly into the firefighting resources of our community, one of the best places to do this is by supporting The Big Chili.

Several local businesses are already on board for this year’s Cook-Off. Thank you Tuscany Tavern, for not only sponsoring the event but also providing meals over the summer for our firefighters. Tuscany Tavern gives us a little taste of Italy right in the beauty of Evergreen. If you haven’t eaten there, well … you should.

Thanks also goes to BENTEK Energy. BENTEK is a recognized leader in natural gas, oil and NGL market fundamental analysis. But their expertise goes much further, into power, demand and other energy segments.

Thank you to the local business that support The Big Chili! This event simply wouldn’t be the same without you.
